Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah called on all “resistance” groups in the region to come up with a unified strategy to confront the U.S. administration’s recent decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Speaking via video link to thousands of protesters in Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, Nasrallah urged fighters to “formulate a clear, unified strategy” and a “conclusive field plan” to take back Jerusalem. Hezbollah, which along with Iran and its ally Syria forms a so-called axis of resistance, will meet “all of its responsibilities in that regard,” he said.
On Monday, protesters in the Hezbollah stronghold of southern Beirut shouted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” in one of the largest Arab protests since Trump’s announcement. Hezbollah fought a 34-day war in Lebanon against Israel in 2006.
